Interviewing Lawyers Familiar with Yelp
McMillan Law Group defeats Yelp, Inc.
by JULIAN on MAY 9, 2013
In a recent small claims court case in San Diego, CA, the McMillan Law Group (MLG) achieved a monumental victory against Yelp, Inc. MLG had been coerced into entering into an advertising contract with the internet giant who promised results. The judge in the case agreed that (a) the contract was void due to fraud in the inducement, and duress, (b) that Yelp had failed to provide any of the promisedservices, and (c)that the contract itself was a contract of adhesion.
This is a massive victory for every small business in the country currently advertising with Yelp, Inc. We can help you get your hard earned money back. At present, we are asking anyone who was threatened by Yelp to contact the firm. If Yelp contacted you and similarly tried to coerce you or did coerce you into an advertising contract with the Company, please contact McMillan Law Group.
The judge stated, “this is like the mafia going door to door extorting protection money from small businesses.”

do you have a laywer please they are a scam
I give this post 1 star for not knowing how to spell lawyer, and for not using spellcheck. Yikes
Yikes is right! Where the heck is my autocorrect!!!! 🙂 Thanks for the heads up.
I would love to join a lawsuit. Yelp has filtered all my clients positive reviews. I never gave permission to be listed. How do I get them to remove my listing.
I don't think YELP should continually get away with legal immunity using the CDA as their weapon, when it is well known that YELP has used, abused, manipulated, lied leaving businesses and individuals ravaged in their wake, while using their multi-billion dollar scheme and leverage to destroy people and businesses.
Remember, that when YELP began, they 1st hijacked your business listing without your authorization or approval and simply posted your business on their servers, all while allowing fake, false, ficticious, not real people to post anything they wanted under your business name. How can YELP say they are just an internet service provider, when they single handedly decided what and how they would post false, melicious, and fake information about you through their so called filter.
Then YELP cleverly along with your unauthorized listing, had a link suggesting you "CLAIM YOUR BUSINESS". Well, you followed the link thinking you would gain some sort of control over your business rather than just let anonymously fake people lie about you on YELP's servers. But what you found out like everyone else, was that you just handed authorization over to YELP to continue slandering you, along with manipulating every piece of information they have transmitted under your name and listing.
If this isn't slander and libel by YELP, then what the heck is. YELP is banking on the fact, that they have the billion dollar leverage to run you and any attorney over like a steam roller, because until years from now when all states attorney generals and the feds, decide that the CDA must be ammened, and new laws added to deal with the likes of YELP who is nothing more than a greedy, lieing sack of you know what. Yes, it is equal to the fraud of wall street and all the scams that have gone along with that tobocle.
I will gladly join any lawsuit against YELP that will have an experienced law firm going after YELP for the billions of dollars of losses and destruction they have caused businesses, peoples names, and repuations through their deliberate, melicious, and libelous acts. If you go on YELP's website, you will discover that YELP encourages you to sue the so called people who are posting the fake and false reviews under your business name that YELP had no business listing in the 1st place without your consent. YELP has done this in an effort to try to shield themselves and deflect litigation of of them, because they already know they have manuipulated, selected, and controlled every bit of information they have transmitted about you . . . and of course because the majority of reviewers are fake, false, don't exist in real life, or never use their real names anyway . . . YELP already knows you would never bother trying to sue anyone under those circumstances.
If this wasn't being conducted by YELP on the internet, and it was being done in your local newspaper; do you think for a minute the newspaper could hide behind their "errors and omissions" insurance. That's right you would have already gotten a big fat settlement out of their insurance company along with retractions and public apologies. But would that make your business whole? I want you to remember everytime you think of YELP, as if they built their business by destroying yours . . . because that is exactly what they have done, and will continue to do, until someone more powerful than them, can put them right out of business for good!
Let me know what you think . . . and unlike the last class action attempt on the basis of extortion, lets have a real smart law group go after them for the reasons I just mentioned, and be sure that the CDA is not the focus that YELP will try to make it.so they can hide behind it. There are other means of attack here, lets find a way of getting at YELP where it will hurt . . . in their pocketbook, and just maybe, some of the dirty money they made and stole from you by destroying your business, can come back to you in many different forms along with seeing YELP's reputation go down in flames on its own merits . . . because they SUCK!
Here is a link to an interesting perspective on how YELP has used and abused the CDA:
http://www.growmap.com/communications-decency-act…
Oh believe me, the new basis completely skirts the CDA. The entire argument is strictly focused on what they themselves do, their processes, their procedures, and their code. That's all their responsibility. And remember, even if some has Freedom of Speech protections, if their speech causes a riot, they are still guilty! Same here. When the independent research shows that increasing your Yelp star ranking by one full star will increase bottom line profits 5-9%, then they have already done the math on what Yelp's filter is costing real businesses when their real customers voices are silenced. 🙂
Adryenn,
I don't have any money to pay a lawyer, but how can I can I join a lawsuit probono if I am being affected by YELP? Please reply to me directly at my e-mail if there is any lawsuits I can join or be a part of!
Here is my recent post right on Yelp that I am sure was filtered the minute I posted it under YELP!
I signed up for Yelp to try to post several reviews a day about all the places I have and do business with. I kept my reviews factual and to the point with good language. After posting for a few days, I noticed Yelp does something very strange. Yelp lets all my reviews make it through the filter to the businesses if they themselves (the business) haven't been targeted by Yelp to be filtered. I think that is not fair to the good reviewers like me, who waste the time (sometimes 15 minutes to write a review) or the businesses that I think deserve to hear from me. I think Yelp should be ashamed of this filthy practice, and I know Yelp is doing it, because I am tracking my reviews. I know Yelp was sued last year for extortion and manipulation. I am an honest Yelper, who wants all my honest reviews to be seen, not just the ones Yelp decides and manipulates. I want you to read all of my reviews, and I want you to make sure they are all posted to the businesses that I have and do business with.
I am writing these reviews based on facts only, because of how useless Yelp has become with allowing reviews to be editorialized and always slanted toward the reviewers single position and their awkward personalities, which usually is a unique "beef" with a manager that has nothing to do with the rest of us, or because they have a hair across their butt the wrong way that day, or another business trashing their competition so the reviews that you allow through your so called filter are all lies and the fake person doesn't even exist in real life or in cyber space, or a business themsleves writing wonderful reviews about themselves through third parties to make them great. So you see how useless Yelp has become, and the ordasity of Yelp manipulating ever single review so no one ever knows what to believe. Plain and simple, Yelp sucks, and in fact there actually is a website and blog named just that up on the internet, I encourage everyone to read it. Apparently Yelp is about to be sued again for all these rotten things they are doing no matter how many times they try to hide behind the federal CDA (communications decency act), which lets Yelp through all their lawyers try to say they are shielded from any liability. WRONG, Yelp is manipulating everything on their site, not just the reviewers like me, so I think they are culpable, and so doesn't everyone who has every laid eyes on Yelp.
Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons the founders of Yelp don't give a rats butt how they make their money, even if it is based on all these shady practices they are getting sued for, so don't get the wrong idea that Yelp is some sort of honest place, because I have been totally honest, and look what they do with my honesty, manipulate it and then ultimately all the rest of the so called Yelpers too.
Now you know Jeremy and Russel are not going to let this honest review stay up very long, so anyone who got a chance to read this, I encourage you all to post something similar, until Yelp gets the message to leave our reviews alone, and make sure they are posted unfiltered after we wasted time on Yelp, and to put them in a place of being responsible for their bad behavior instead of hiding behind the so called "filter". The filter is just a word they use for "manipulation". Did you know Yelp encourages everyone to sue each other (meaning your fellow reviewers) but not Yelp, when in fact it is Yelp who is doing all the manipulating behind the scenes. A most recent class action being assembled right now, is going to hit Yelp at the heart of this issue, not like the last attempt that allowed Yelp to hide behind the CDA. Do a search online, and you can find tons of ways to join the class action. All I want is my reviews to be seen just as I wrote them about businesses I think are worthy, and some maybe not so worthy and unfiltered, but if my measely 5 day research has shown this outcome, imagine how all the rest of both the reviewers and businesses feel being left at the mercy of Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons to decide what you will see or what you won't, jeeze that's a pretty good way for people to form up an image on what is good or bad, let Jerremy and Russel decide for you . . . NOT!
So please tell me what can we do…..Ill join any lawsuit. How is it ok that they post reviews from anonymous reviewers. The truth is Yelp is lazy, they don’t qualify reviewers, most negative reviews are competitor’s and disgruntled employees. This isnt freedom of speech…its liable. Because they dont care about who or what is reviewed…couldn't we write negative reviews on all yelp advertisers? If not …why?
Help me and others that have been attacked by YELP's terrorist tactics. After contacted by the YELP team to join there little club, I told them no-thanks. A week later my business had a nasty negative review, then my positive reviews disapeared. Now I have a nastier negative review by the same person that is very personal and very disturbing. I have asked Yelp to look into the matter, only to be told there is nothing they can do. I have been in business for 40+ years and to have a company (YELP) come along and ruin it for me is devastating. When you Google my company the first thing you see is YELP's review, I have had to look for an attorney that will take this on with no luck yet. YELP should be held totally responsible for any content that it post on it's website as well as the person who put it there." HELP WANTED" – ATTORNEY
Question, why can't the owner of a business have the option to opt out of YELP's website ?????
I am in the midst of trading e-mails with an "Ariana" at [email protected] concerning the fact that a 5 star review of a local business that I posted has been filtered (it was actually my first time posting on Yelp). I've explained (in three separate e-mails now) that I have no interests or connections to, with, or in the company I reviewed, yet my 5 star review was filtered. As it turns out, nearly all of the 4 or 5 star reviews of this establishment were also filtered, and only the 1 or 2 star reviews were posted. I am incensed at Yelp's refusal to correct the mistake of their "proprietary filter" and post my review. Yelp has ceased responding to my e-mails. I would gladly be part of any campaign to expose Yelp for the fraud they are. As I mentioned in my last e-mail to them, Yelp is clearly engaging in deceptive business practices by promoting itself as the one true source for unbiased reviews while it selectively "filters" those reviews. There is absolutely no good reason why my review should have been filtered — absolutely none.

After speaking to a couple of well known attorneys last week, the law #230 protects YELP to a certain point. If you can prove that Yelp took down your good reviews that is grounds for a good lawsuit. The problem is everybody is afraid of having to pay for YELP's attorney fees if you loose in court. So why not go to small claims court ( no attorneys allowed). In California you can ask for up to $10,000. If everybody who has been hurt by YELP files a small claims action for $10,000 and force YELP to remove their listing would be a major blow to YELP. My attorneys thought that this was a great idea. I am collecting evidence as week speak. Hope to get back soon with a update.
Sounds like a great idea, but as you know, YELP will just say they are placing your good review in the "filtered" section, not that they have removed it. They will say your good review still resides on the site, just not visible unless you type in the "captcha". Of course we all know this is a bunch of bull. Also, are you required to file the small claim in San Francisco, or can you file it with a court other than in California in the state where you reside, in my case Massachusetts. Logistically YELP banks on the fact that you won't fly to California to file such a small claim, especially when they pull a "no show" and you flew out there for nothing.
I am still waiting for someone to refer all of us to a smart law firm who will represent us probono, as the big payoff to the law firm would come when YELP has to settle for all the damage they have caused. I think for many of us, we just want to see a court decision that mandates that if an individual or business requests to be removed from the YELP site, that YELP would be required to do so immediately.
Hi, I've posted in the past regarding the blatant unfair business practice of the filtering model. I've written ten letters of against to BBB in SF, Yelp (letters returned), Gov Cuomo, Consumer Affairs and Federal Trade Commission. Not sure where else to go to get Yelp to remove the filtering system. Today, we had a review go up and get removed all within one hour. And from a customer who regularly hires us. We refuse to pay for banner ads and once we did that all 80 of our 5 star reviews got banished by the filtering system.
I'd like to opt out and removed my business listing but sadly someone could still put it back up on line to tarnish our rep.
Help! We want to join a lawsuit if there is one.
Thanks
I would like to join a class action suit against yelp they filter all our good reviews and post the bad ones at the top of the page. it is totally unfair.. who can i contact to sue them!
thank you,
frank
We received a nasty negative review from YELP Senior Accounts Manager's partner.
Feel this information would be helpful to a lawyer.
Proves Yelp staff members will write nasty reviews against businesses in order to blackmail.
My business has been victimized by Yelp, not only would I like to join the class action suit, but try to get new legislation for small business owner to opt out of social media site. Somewhat like a no call list.
Steve, we are currently experience the same problem (being in business for 12 years with a wonderful reputation.) A quick google search on our name brings our BS Yelp stars right underneath the link to our site. People can't click away from us fast enough now. We've had (4) 5-star reviews come in from repeat customers (detailed and well written, descriptive in the expertise that our company has and fully endorsing us) that have been filtered (including 1 disappearing altogether.) After emailing Yelp, to their credit they did "unfilter" the reviews. Today 2 have been filtered out again with only 1 good review and (2) 1-star. I've offered to submit substantiative proof that these are real customers (including Work orders and payment receipts.) I am spending so much time on the Yelp issue. Our measurable negative impact has been in the clicks we've received from Google Ads PPC correlated with the increase of hits that Yelp got on our profile during these campaigns and subsequently our low rate of customer conversions compared to previous years of success with PPC. We recently paid $1000 in PPC advertising for 1 week and had 3 conversions! I've also spent numerous hours emailing Yelp, monitoring our ads when they come in and when they filter out, etc. I have planned to write to our Senators, but that isn't going to help our business in the short-run, if at all. Our company would join a law-suit. I have not personally experienced extortion yet, but I can measure some of the financial losses to our business (which may be upward of $100K-200K in GP over the last 6 weeks.) For a small business this hurts a lot! My stand as both a consumer and business owner is that if Yelp is on the search engines, i.e. expanding their exposure beyond the Yelp community, they should not be able to play "Big Brother" with the reviews. They are not an authority on determining credibility of reviews, and without substantial proof that a review is false they should not be able to alter it in any way (including filtering it.) At least they should have an arbitration department so impacted businesses are able to submit proof of credibility (e.g. through paid receipts or other documentation) and rectify problems quickly.
Hi, my name is Jim Morrison [for real – just don't ask me to sing].
I am in the process of seeking angel funding for a review site that will be the "yelp killer" [and the "killer" of tripadvisor, urbanspoon, etc, and other review sites featuring untold millions of fake reviews. No kidding.
My site, with it's proprietary technology which we will be developing, will simply suck the life out of virtually all review sites. I can explain all of this. Our site will explode with growth…..
If you want to know more about this, please provide the name of your business and and your name. I will try verify that you are not a yelp proxy, then contact you. No doubt yelp monitors this board and all others. I have an executive summary I prepared. You may contact me at orm247[at]gmail.com, if you seriously wish to get info and are a qualified angel.
If not, hang on, all you business owners, b/c relief will be here in about 7- 9 months with a brand new way to review!
please contact me 248-346-5931 MOnika
I operate a tenants rights law firm in San Francisco. Yelp is filtering several good reviews from actual clients and leaving up one bad review from a guy who wasn't even my client. I can't seem to get ahold of a person at Yelp and I've sent them several emails. I'm thinking I might sue Yelp in small claims court. I would also be open to advising other small business owners who want to sue Yelp in small claims court.
Richard that would be awesome! Can I do an interview call with you and record it so that the other businesses who are really being hurt by Yelp can benefit from your legal expertise?
Please help, this yelp is ruining my businesess and my life…
We have 34 great reviews that are filtered and 2 bad reviews showing since we stopped paying them for advertising….
we used to pay $350/month , i am so sick of this website and how they are allowed to operate
also, ever since stopped paying them i am unable to get a hold of anyone ?
What i don't understand is why small businesses continue to advertise on yelp and feed this beast. Their Ad rates are very high vs other online media and not effective. Their revenue seems to come from merchants that they are destroying. Cut off this flow of revenue and they will be out of business.
From what I know, if a party does not show up at a Small Claims hearing, the party who showed up wins the case.
I want to join the lawsuit too!!! Yelp did the same to me when I refuse their offer to advertise on their website.. Positive reviews filtered and negative reviews popped up… They have damage our business severely!!
@ Richard n Adryenn Ashley, how do I get a hold of you? I m a small business owner and I would like to sue yelp in small claims court. Here is my email address [email protected]
We would like to get in with everyone else on this Yelp suit. We are expressing the same thing everyone else and for $350 a month they want us to advertise with them. We do all our advertising organically through optimization and do not want to pay yelp $350 a month for a very basic package.
HERE IS A WAY TO FIGHT BACK YELP !!!
Yelp is a website that claims to offer people a fair reviews of buisness, when in fact, they mislead people by only showing negative reviews, while 'filtering' all good reviews, UNLESS, that bussiness pays them money, then the show good reviews and 'filter' bad ones.That is very unfair to the public
To fight back against this injustice, everyone should file a complaint against Yelp at the Better Business Bureau, https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint if enough people file, something can be done!!!
WANTED – an employee or ex-employee who works or worked for YELP to give information and or testify against YELP. Must have valid proof and information regarding YELP's illegal, unfair, unscrupulous business practices. Please come forward and do the right thing. Good Karma will be with you !! Thank you from me and a lot of good business owners.
WANTED— Attorney to discuss suing YELP for false reviews and defamation of character. My new business has been victimized by reviewers who were refused business and NEVER used my business and posted false reviews and copied and pasted email communications that were not true.
I am filing a small claims lawsuit in SF court for 10K for damages, but would rather join a class action suit if applicable.
Richard Hulburt…did you file a small claims suit?
In California, you can take a business to small claims court at your local courthouse for several reasons. One being if the buyer signed the contract, lives now, or lived when the contract was made, if this claim is about a retail installment contract. (Civil Code, § 1812.10.)
For example, if your business is located in San Diego and you have a contract with Yelp for local business advertising per month, then you are "the buyer" and San Diego is where you "lived when the contract was made".
Most states have similar code for personal jurisdiction.
So take Yelp to small claims in your local courthouse! Just make sure you have a retail installment contract for advertising in place before you file!!
Hello everyone,
I want to join the lawsuit too. Yelp have the the nerve to have one of the their employee call me about a year or so ago asking me to advertise with them and if not some on my 5 stars might disappear. And they've filter 41 of mine 5 stars reviews and show 3 or 4 bad one. When I try to contact them to resolve the issues, they said it's just random automated system that they use.
How can it be a fair reviews website when they're not showing the all of my reviews so potential clients can see all of my reviews.
Please email me Irvinetoptrainer1@yahoo because I want to join the law sue or take them to small court as well. I don't have a lot of money so I need someone I can afford.
Thank you,
JC
Have you seen the pictures on Yelp's listing on Yelp? Just saw a few, pictures of employees you can tell they were hand picked, I don't think normal good people would want to work for Yelp! There is one picture of this "Yelps Rules" wrote in the sands! This alone shows the mind set of these inhuman people! They believe they have they are ruling our lives! They are aware of destroying lives and they are proud of it! Hoe creepy is that!
People in over seas pull down dictators by putting their lives on the line, why can't we have a organized demonstration to bring light and attention to this?
We are experiencing the same shake-down. Help!
If you are experiencing a shakedown, document, record, keep voicemails and emails, everything! And email me with details, and I may be able to get the media to showcase your story!
Sign me on! They hire some reviewer to put malicious and incorrect information on their site in a bad/negative review about your business (she called my business a scam and then stated a warning to others not to spend money with me WTF????) then want you to PAY them for their services? They are despicable and unethical and slanderous. They are hurting the very businesses about which their company was developed for and are laughing all the way to the bank. I will do everything in my power to see that justice is done. What do we do next?
In reference to the BBB complaints. The BBB apparently is just as big a joke as
YELP is. 600+ complaints for YELP, and they are listed as an A+ company on the BBB
page. Pathetic. I filled out two seperate complaints against YELP over the course of
the past couple months. I go back to the BBB site and find my complaint has been
closed both times. Not once was I contacted by anyone from YELP or by the BBB.
Just pathetic. Someone give me the name of a good attorney. I have 2 years worth
of data that easily shows discrimination/slander at the VERY LEAST. 28+ positive
reviews being filtered out. Those same reviewers have reviews posted for other companies (not being filtered out) but for my company they get filtered. I have the screen shots. Someone let me know
a good attorney. So sick of YELP getting away with extorting money from small
business.
I would also like to join in a lawsuit against yelp. Have tons of documentation / screen shots, etc showing their illegal practices. Someone contact me. I'd love nothing more then to give YELP what they deserve.
In the past 90 days I have been the subject of two yelp reviews about my company. One negative and one positive. We do not advertise with yelp. The positive review was filtered and the negative review remains unfiltered.
I want to look into the possibility of suing the author of the review and yelp for libel or defamation.
There's no way to beat Yelp. I now understand that Yelp owns my business–I don't. It feels so contaminated by the unfair hit pieces (many good reviews are filtered) that I am thinking of selling my business next year. I am no longer interested in it. It's heartbreaking to see the life and enthusiasm that I once had for my business, go down Yelp's toilet.
I suggest everyone use twitter. They do not want bad publicity streaming non stop about their ruthless biz practices. I suggest you use @yelp and share your stories and this link so others don't get hurt.
Yes, Why me. I have a total of 24 reviews and only two very old ones show up. My customers askl me why their review is being hidden. I have no answer. I will join any group to fight Yelp. Jerry
If everyone files lawsuits at the same time all over the country it will garner national press attention to Yelps horrible practices, and force Yelp to make changes like allowing businesses to rate reviewers, insisting on equal page time for business owners when a customer creates a review, a change in their algorithm to more accurately reflect the over all rating of the company over all reviews, pulling down reviews that a company can prove are fake.
Here is something we all can do! BBB has rated Yelp A+, we all should call and complain on the rating that the BBB has for them. Let’s teach them a lesson:
Call 510-844-2015 Kim Sharp, rating regulator at BBB, ask them to re-check Yelp rating
Fax your complain also to (510) 844-2100
PLEASE everyone call in, lets make a wave!!
In the summer of 2010, a very troubled and bizarre couple began to attend our church fellowship. Shortly thereafter, I got reports from congregants that they were correcting them and interrupting prayers, etc. After contacting this couple to ask them cordially to stop their divisive behavior, they began attacking us on every social network site they could think of. I was able to remove some of the slander from YouTube and Facebook, but Yelp remained utterly uncooperative. They have filtered 17 positive reviews and kept this one negative review up for hundreds of people to see. Our church attendance has suffered as a result and we get fewer visitors. I've tried everything. Should I file a lawsuit against the individuals? And why does Yelp filter our positive reviews? Why can't they see that this couple is being vindictive? Please help!
I am not an attorney. But here is what I do know. My company had a reviewer make a review on yelp that stated simple: "Horrible customer service and workmanship". When you sue somebody in court for anything, your attorney sets forth all relevant facts concerning your case, he then argues conclusions based on the law and how it applies to your relevant facts.
Yelp let's reviewers get away with statements like "Horrible customer service and workmanship". What the hell does is this supposed to mean ? The reviewer has set forth no facts, to support this conclusory statement and given us no chance for rebuttal or to defend ourself from this statement.
In a court of law, this statement would be libel, because it is conclusory and is not based on any foundation of facts. the only real defense for libel is the truth. But how do you as a company owner know what is true, when a reviewer puts a statement on yelp with no facts to back it up ?
Yelp reviews are libelous all over the place because reviews are full of hearsay, no foundation of facts, and conclusory statements, which would be immediately disallowed in a court of law.
I have had customers tell me that they have refused our business because of these yelp reviews. I have even asked yelp to remove them based on vague and ambiguous statements, hearsay, no foundation of facts, and conclusory statements, but they haven't removed them yet.
Has anybody ever sued Yelp in small claims court, to have a review removed based on loss of business due to a yelp review that was vague and ambiguous; hearsay; no foundation of facts; and conclusory statements and been successful ? If so, us business owners need to flood the small claims courts with lawsuits. No need to hire an attorney. The maximum is $5,000.
Anybody have an experience with a small claims court claim against yelp for monetary damages and / or to have the review removed ?
I think we should all get together on a class action suit here. I understand yelp can run their business how they see fit, but when it affects other businesses they need to be forced to stop.
My background with yelp is we have a competitor who has left two negative reviews about our company which are not filtered and we have five positive reviews by real customers who can testify they are real people and real customers.
I understand yelps system will filter your reviews until you have been a member for some time and left a few reviews. I call this getting “yelp clout.” The flaw in their system is that a customer does not owe anything to a business. They are not going to spend extra time writing a positive review. They want their product, they want it fast, they want it cheap, and they want to leave and be done with it.
On the other hand a competing business has the incentive to sit around for a few nights spending a few hours making himself look like a real person because he gains something by doing it, which is defaming his competition. And that is the problem with yelp filter. It affects other businesses and promotes competitor businesses to leave false reviews.
I am open to go in with anyone and everyone to fight yelp. Their system is flawed and in time it will be recognized by the courts but not until we do something about it.
you have no idea the depths of yelp, i think after they make a few calls for advertising and you turn them down, the first one "elllit" to write a bad review, (because the identify them selves as 1st) sets of the chain of filters. I am assuming that person gets a kick back of the ad dollars if you cave. They also have a game the "elite" play to help trash others and see how many they can support. It is called "FUC" i am posting the screen i found within yelp. They are dirty and extortionist. I am going to copy and paste the screen pic, follow it down and you will under stand how they "FUC" with our business. Nice stay at home job. This goes on right up to the minute, i would also like to know why Adrynn first page says she works for yelp. Did you notice how the "elite" they are all friends with each other.

Hello, This is a wonderful site. I am a mt in Hawaii who started a very small business on Maui. After saving for over a year, I just invested in new materials such as organic oils, expensive sheets, music, etc. I put alot of love and care into my new business and was very excited to get started here. I also just signed a three month contract with a receptionist to answer any calls while I am in session. Its alot of money but I am locked into this contract. I also pay monthly for an online booking service. I have started to build clientele locally but being in Hawaii, vacationers are important.
the other day I looked online and saw I had a negative comment ( one star) on the yelp. I couldnt believe it… the woman wrote down that i did not come to her house after booking online. Unfortunately, somehow in my system, a box was unchecked that notifies me when i get an online booking. I called the lady and practically in tears I offered her a free massage and I was sincerely sorry for the mishap. I told her what happened… she said I ruined her vacation and she will not take the comment down. I have 2 comments that are 5 stars but they filtered them out. I am a very small business with a very small budget and I can not afford the advertising on yelp. It is almost as much as my rent. I see other mobile massage businesses online and they have either 5 stars because they advertise ( they are well established on the island) and compared to theirs, my one star makes me look like a very bad company that doesnt show up. Unfortunately, yelp has been working on the seo and when you search here for a mobile massage business… their website with their ratings are right next to it. So I am devastated and am in shock that one person could be so vindictive and cruel as to ruin a persons business for a small mishap. After investing alot of money and dreams, with sinking pride knowing my friends see this ( she actually used my name on their.. to make matters worse) I removed my website and am at a loss as to what to do. This was my livelihood. I honestly do not know what to do as i painstakingly took the time and paid the fees to register my business with the state of hawaii . I am so depressed about this…i just cant understand how one person could be so cruel as to want to hurt and take down someones business because of a small mistake in which I tried to make better by calling and apologizing and offering a free massage.
We have been battling with yelp for years. Don't want to bore anyone with our horror story, but when we have multiple businesses/locations (such as our dental business), the horrible yelp affect is multiplied. A discruntled patient was allowed to post negative reviews on all four of our dental practices even though he was a patient of only one of them. Non of these reviews were filtered by yelp. However, every time our own patients post a a good review about it, it almost always gets filtered…go figure.
Richard, how can I retain you?
is there a lawsuit back in action. This should be brought to 60 minutes show
We have the same problem except I want to sue the reviewer. Let Yelp hide behind whatever….i have a great plan to defeat Yelp by actually using their own filter algo. I am surprised no one thought of this. If I had a large enough group of small business owners that can commit an hour per week and someone who knows how to put together a CRM to help us all. It is very unorthodox and may take long thought to agree to it and bring everyone on board. – Joe
To see it and experience Yelp's extortion is to believe it! Beyond corrupt and I want to sue Yelp and the reviewers. My husband and I have 5 dental offices and have been in business since 1986. Super solid, thousands of patients, and yet the only reviews that Yelp will publish (for extended periods of time), are the nightmarish couple of patients who threatened to extort us in the first place. I have tested Yelp several times and they will not help unless I pay them a monthly fee per month per office. HELP and thanks, Elizabeth
welcome to the club. if we all stick together we can defeat them. Also, put an inquiry in for advertizing on Yelp and then get your recorder ready. they will try to extort you for ad dollars.
Everyones that willing to join the law suit with Yelp please add your contact information in the form above. Name, email and phone number maybe. We will start to create a group of motivated people to raise a fund, hire a lawyer to sue Yelp.
Sign me on! They hire some reviewer to put malicious and incorrect information on their site in a bad/negative review about your business (she called my business a scam and then stated a warning to others not to spend money with me WTF????) then want you to PAY them for their services? They are despicable and unethical and slanderous. They are hurting the very businesses about which their company was developed for and are laughing all the way to the bank. I will do everything in my power to see that justice is done. What do we do next?
Report
Yelp has designed an unfair "algorithm" they use that assumes all good reviews (that are posted by a person that have themselves posted only a few yelp reviews) must be planted, so, yelp filters those reviews off of that businesses profile. We have over 43 filtered reviews which are mostly four and five star reviews which have been posted by happy SD Hardware customers’ but because those reviewers only had one or two posted yelp reviews, they are assumed to be “planted” and are filtered.
On the other hand, yelp’s algorithm assumes nobody would plant a bad review so those people that post a bad review (and maybe it’s their sole post) well, that review sticks and is not filtered. Crazy huh? And the reality of this yelp website is that the vast majority of people that are happy with our service (we have over a hundred walk in customers’ a day) don’t have the time to spend posting on yelp and don’t really want to go through the hassle of setting up a yelp account . Yelp is extremely biased in favor of those yelpers’ that just want to lash out for one reason or another and I take every opportunity to let people know to be wary of what you read on yelp, most reviews are posted from those few that are in the minority of unhappy customers’.
Another thing that I don't like about Yelp is how they have configured their Yelp Elite squad and their 'friends' within this squad. And when you look at a reviewed facility if a Yelper gets a check off as a Useful or Cool or Funny, then that will proprel the listing and ranking of the reviewer. If you as a reviewer have a lot of Yelp friends then they encourage one another to check off each others reviews for these Useful, Cool or Funny rankings so that their Elite status stays as such and so that their reviews get placed higher in a category. It is all so deceitful!
I know this because I am a Yelp Elite and I do not like this system at all but in this age of facebook 'friending' and using alterior motives these Yelpers see nothing immoral with it all!
http://www.yelp.ca/topic/edmonton-yelp-review-bou…
check out this link for a Yelp Elite review for a first review of a restaurant that this guy who clearly was in a conflict of interest (the Yelp Reviewer) because he had done work for the restaurant and even though he thought that he was being clever in mentioning that he had worked for the restaurant he still nonetheless had went ahead and wrote a four review for the place. He was subsequently called out about this action and you need to see the 'gang' like mentality of the Yelp squad who got onto the person who called out this reviewer for conflict of interest.
And the interesting part if this whole scenario, Because this reviewer who is in a conflict happens to be a Yelp Elite and a Gold Elite no less that means that his review cannot be flagged or reducted (because he has too many friends and the 'trust' him on Yelp).
This gang like mentality is akin to the Hitler youth, they will to anything to protect their 'friends' at any cost.
Great catch!! I wonder if enough of us flag the review for a conflict of interest if the review will be deleted? Shall we try?
I clicked the link and it has been removed.. I wish that I could have seen it since I am in a business that has been slammed hard by Yelp.
Thanks for letting me know. I will look into that!
